Bootstrap 4 Shell
Below is my shell for getting started with a Bootstrap 4 based website. This uses content-delivery-networks for the libraries, so you don't have to have multiple files.
Literally copy/paste the text below into an index.html file and fill in the content.
Useful Documentation Links
- Components (buttons, alerts, cards etc)
- Grid System (layout)
